"I knew you had something on your mind. Tell me, as your Teacher, I'll definitely help you solve it as long as I can."

Marcus smiled slightly: "It's like this, can you help me find a Slakoth that likes to eat spinach? Its talent doesn't matter."

"Ah?" Norman on the other end of the phone was stunned and asked: "This spinach... is it just normal spinach?"

"Uh... it's just normal spinach..." Marcus didn't explain much, after all, if he said some of the System's strange functions, he was afraid he would be considered insane.

"You should still focus on improving your strength now, and although spinach is cheap, its nutritional value is not high. If you are really short on money..."

At this point, Norman's voice dropped sharply: "If it really doesn't work, I'll give you a little of the small vault I've accumulated over the years... You can't let your Pokemon suffer, what kind of strong partner can you train by eating spinach?"

Marcus was dumbfounded: "No... no need, Teacher, just help me find one that likes spinach, I'm not short on money either..."

He knew that Norman had misunderstood that he planned to raise Slakoth poorly by using spinach as food...

"Alright, alright... I'll keep an eye out for you."

Norman didn't say anything more, just assuming that Marcus had strong self-esteem and didn't expose his 'lie', secretly planning to provide some help to this disciple when the time came.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher~"

Getting a positive answer, Marcus hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Now that Buneary and Smoliv's training is basically on track, it's time for him to expand his lineup.

Since the goal is to become a Normal-type Pokemon Master, Slaking with the ability Huge Power must be put on the agenda.

After all, similar to Buneary, Slaking also needs to reset its ability, which requires long-term training.

Targeting Slaking's Truant ability, Marcus also specifically spent 50,000 PD to formulate a plan in the training System:

[Slakoth Ability Reset Plan]

Continuously stimulate the weakening Truant ability by utilizing interests and hobbies, such as food, entertainment, battle, etc. The specific stimulation depends on the situation.

Huge Power ability training method:

① Watch "Popeye the Sailor Man" completely and develop a dietary habit of eating spinach ten times a day.

② Superpower spinach needs to be watered and cultivated with Superpower Potion.

——"Superpower creates miracles~ If I spend five hundred less a day, I feel uncomfortable all over!!"

————

When he saw this plan, Marcus's mouth twitched... Superpower Potion is here too...

As expected, the plans given by the System are more outrageous each time...

"But... why does this button give me a familiar feeling..." Marcus found a button at the very end, and the bold golden mark was very eye-catching:

[Click to immediately get the Superpower Spinach Cultivation Plan]

"Could it be..." Marcus hesitated for a moment and selected it with his mind.

[Ding, deduction of 1,000,000 PD failed, insufficient balance, please recharge...]

"Holy crap! It's really a microtransaction button!!"

Marcus was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he quickly checked the balance of his bank card...

After confirming that not a single cent was missing, he let out a long breath: "Thank goodness... I'm poor enough, not enough to deduct..."

His mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness...

...

In the end, Marcus accepted the System's exploitation, after all, having a method is better than not having one....

Otherwise, relying on Slakoth to overcome its nature through training like Buneary is too difficult.

Having made up his mind, Marcus also began to accumulate capital.

He went out for a walk, and with the flattering expression of the fruit stall owner, he took away his few fresh Berries, then rode his bicycle eastward.

Since he was going to challenge the Gym tomorrow, he had to arrive at Oreburgh City in advance today.

However, before reaching the eastern city entrance, Marcus was blocked by an Uncle dressed in a Clown costume.

"Hey, young man over there, how about playing a game with me? If you win, you can get a Poketch that countless young men and women dream of!"

"Huh?"

"Okay, then I'll take that as a yes!" The Clown said to himself.

Marcus: "No, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other party shoved a stack of flyers at him.

"The game is very simple, just hand these out to passersby~ Alright, hurry up and start! Fighto!"

Marcus: ???

What kind of forced buying and selling capitalist operation is this...

Damn it, I've even transmigrated and I can still encounter such a weirdo...

Just as he was about to throw the flyers in the other person's face, a beautiful girl with dark blue long hair ran over from the side.

"Mr. Clown, I'm done distributing them, can you give me the watch?"

Seeing the person who arrived, Marcus was stunned: "Nessa?"

The other party also widened her eyes: "It's you! Shameless scoundrel!"

Marcus: ??

Looking at the indignant girl in front of him and the strange looks from the passersby from time to time, Marcus was completely flustered.

Those who knew knew that he had fought a guerrilla battle in the Battle Facility, but those who didn't might think that he had abandoned this girl!

"I have something to do, I'm leaving first..." Marcus quickly threw the flyers to the Uncle and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!" Just as he turned the corner, Nessa chased after him.

Marcus looked at the other party helplessly: "Is there something?"

"You're challenging the Pokemon League, right?"

"Mm."

"I'm also challenging it. How about we have a 3v3 battle?" Nessa clenched her fists. Although she was outwardly calm as water, she was actually very bothered by the loss in that battle.

"..." Marcus spread his hands: "I'm just a new Trainer, I only have 2 right now. Let's do it next time."

"Eh?" Nessa opened her mouth, feeling a little surprised.

Marcus didn't pay much attention and turned to leave.

"Then, from now on, you are my rival! I won't lose next time we meet!" Nessa shouted at his back.

"Then you have to work hard... although the result will always be me winning..."

From afar, Marcus's words drifted over, making the girl grit her teeth.

Not taking this matter to heart, Marcus got on his bicycle and continued eastward.

In this short time, Buneary and Smoliv's 'learning' in the Dream Space was also completed, and Marcus released them and assigned new training tasks.

"Buneary, continuously use Quick Attack and Bounce, jump between branches and try to minimize the sound of stepping!"

"Buneary!" The little rabbit nodded, flipped over, and came to the big tree by the roadside, starting to flash and move.

"Smoliv, use Sunny Day, Sweet Scent, and Grassy Terrain along the way, and use Synthesis to recover stamina when you're tired!"

"Smoliv!" Smoliv was full of fighting spirit. This kind of training that could beautify the environment gave her great motivation.

Seeing that his two Pokemon had started their respective efforts, Marcus smiled freely and rode through the fields with the breeze whistling by.

...

Oreburgh City is an important energy city in the Sinnoh Region, located east of Jubilife City, separated by mountains and wilderness.

Originally, to build the metropolis of Jubilife City, some people in Oreburgh City carved out a passage in the mountains, which is now the Oreburgh Gate.

The area around the mountain range is covered by large areas of wilderness and forests, and there are even areas like the Eterna Forest that give adventurers headaches.

So Marcus didn't plan to go around the mountain, but instead entered the cave directly and headed straight for Oreburgh City.

The journey was smooth with no major incidents. After repelling a group of Zubat and defeating a few camping youths, Marcus passed through the Oreburgh Gate and saw the light of day again.

By this time, the sun was already setting, and seeing that there was still some distance to Oreburgh City, Marcus had no choice but to set up camp on the spot.

Although he had the capable helper Miltank, traveling overnight was not a good choice for him either.

"Looks like we'll have to sleep outdoors tonight. You two need to rest well, there's a tough battle tomorrow."

Marcus put Pokeblocks and Moomoo Milk into his two Pokemon's small bowls and gently rubbed their heads.

But he was thinking about how to deal with Roark's ace Cranidos.

"Buneary!" As if sensing his mood, Buneary pulled his hand and used her ears to form a shape indicating 'no problem'.

"It's okay, don't worry~" Marcus smiled, then hugged his two Pokemon and lay down in the sleeping bag.

Before long, the sound of steady breathing came from the tent.

When the bright moon hung high and the night wind was bleak, two small figures quietly opened the tent and slipped out.

"Roar——"

The forest at night was full of dangers, and many predators were out looking for targets, occasionally letting out roars.

"Buneary!" "Smoliv!"

His two Pokemon looked at each other and ran towards the grass not far away.

A moment later, the sound of battle could be faintly heard from that direction.
